From the AEMO
Our latest #energyinsights shows that renewable generation in South Australia exceeded total demand for the state just about every second day (180 days) last year, peaking at 135% of total demand in November.
The AEMO is the regulator of the NEM (national electricity market), Oz's electricity grid. In South Australia, even the sadly misnamed Liberal Party, which at the federal level is hostile to renewables, is enthusiastic about the benefits renewables have brought and will bring to the state. (It has the lowest wholesale electricity prices in Australia, after having the highest 10 years ago.) SA has excellent wind and solar resources, and with a new HVDC connector to NSW will become a major energy exporter over the next few years.
